He co-wrote Mariah Carey's hit 2005 singles, We Belong Together, Don't Forget About Us, It's Like That, and Shake It Off from her album The Emancipation of Mimi. Johnta Austin also co wrote Mary J Blige's new single "Be Without You" from her #1 selling CD "The Breakthrough". He is also featured as a guest artist on Jermaine Dupri's 2005 single, "Gotta Getcha". Austin has been extremely busy and extremely successful in the last several years. His career began when he was a mere eight years old, hosting the daily television show, “Kid’s Beat” on CNN. Covering current events, sports and the entertainment world, the young Austin went on to become the Atlanta Bureau Chief for the CNN weekly news program, “Real News for Kids” and the reporter for the TBS half hour weekly, “Feed Your Mind.
He was originally signed to RCA Records in 1995 before being dropped in favor of R&B singer Tyrese Gibson. However, he ended up writing a few songs for him (including the hit "Sweet Lady") as well as a few other artists instead.
In 2005, he returned to his singing career with his first single "Lil More Love". The single failed to hit although a couple more songs he wrote for other artists became successful.
"Ocean Drive", his debut album is set for release in 2006 with the next single yet to be picked. Three album tracks have since been leaked online, a Jermaine Dupri-featured track "Turn It Up", a Jazze Pha-produced track "Make Her The One", and another self-penned track "Dope Fiend".

The Sound Of My Broken Heart
The lyrics of Johnta Austin's song "My Heart" delve into the complexities of love and heartbreak. The song explores the vulnerability and fear that comes with giving one's heart to someone else. The opening lines suggest that love is challenging, but worth it, as it is described as madness. However, the singer questions the notion that love is madness and wonders if the person who wrote that sentiment truly understands the reality of love.
The chorus reflects the internal struggle of the singer, who is torn between wanting to love someone but also being scared of the potential consequences. The lyrics convey the sense that the heart no longer belongs to the singer but is held captive by someone who is the reason for their vulnerability and potential downfall. The repeated lines "I know I know I know" express the singer's desire to find another way to love, suggesting that they understand the difficulties but still hope for a solution.
When the smoke clears, a symbol of the aftermath of the emotional turmoil, only the sound of the broken heart is left. The broken heart is a recurring theme throughout the song, symbolizing the pain and hurt experienced in love. The lyrics "I remember our first kiss, but it's distant in my mind" indicate that the singer's memories of the relationship are overshadowed by the negative aspects, such as lies and emotional pain. The song ends with a plea to find another way to love, but ultimately acknowledges the fear that hinders the singer from fully opening up.
Overall, "My Heart" delves into the complexities of love, vulnerability, and fear. It explores the difficulty of navigating relationships and the pain that can come from giving one's heart to another.
